Women writers and the dark side of late-Victorian Hellenism

Description:

"This book examines the highly complex relationship of women writers to Hellenism in the late-nineteenth century, arguing that the proliferation of Greek subjects in women's literature from the middle of the century suggest a collective movement into the classical tradition by women writers and scholars rather than comprehensive exclusion from it"--Provided by publisher.
